Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. In the...
Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. In the beginning of this year, 2017 I decided to have a bbl procedure. After hearing about a few experiences from friends I decided to have my surgery done in Mexico, TJ. Big mistake, Dr. Carlos Ivan Buritica performed my surgery. Weeks later, I discovered an uneven lump (along with pain) on my left cheek, called the office, scheduled an appointment & returned to his office where he suctioned the area. I was told to wait 3 weeks for the swelling to go down. 4 weeks later & nothing has changed!!! So I returned to the office for suctioning once more, this time I was as sent home with antibiotics. Weeks later, volume has dropped dramatically & pain is still present. At this point I'm still wearing my garment due to the lump being embarrassing without the support. June, 2017 I decided to see a PS here in Beverly Hills. He performed a small lipo procedure (to the lumpy area) in the office under local anesthesia. He didn't promise any dramatic changes, however, he was willing to give it a try. 5 months after bbl and the lump seems as if it continues to filling up (no changes) At this point, I don't know what I should do? I regret the procedure but need to fix it somehow. Is there any recommendations from any wonderful PS out there? Should I consider second BBL/correction? Could this possibly help? The lump isn't hard, soft in touch. Up until a few days ago, I noticed so much more volume has gone down on upper side of my cheek (heartbreaking). Thank you in advance for any feedback.
By the way, my sister had a bbl performed with the same Dr. Same lumpy issue. RUN!
